Viva la Chelsea Gardens

I haven't participated in a creative challenge in what seems like forever...until this past weekend!  I'm actually shocked that I am really blogging it now too, lol!  ;)

I made this A2 card for the January Viva la Verve Sketch Challenge.  This birthday sentiment from Verve is one of my favorites!

There are SO many things that I LOVE about this one.  That double bow tied with Verve ribbon is amazing.  I just cannot get enough of these new marble colored gems from Close to My Heart either!

I used the negative cut from a Mixed Mats Die Cut from PTI to frame out the card along with some matting in CTMH CS colors Mink and Pebble.  Those gorgeous pattern papers and the leafy sprig are found in the brand new Chelsea Gardens Paper Suite and Complements.

LOVED getting creative and adding this beauty to my card stash!  Thanks for the great sketch, Julee!  :)

Love Ya Silly Valentine's Day Card Workshop!

Just a week left to RSVP for my Valentine's Day Card Workshop!   Here are the cutie-pie cards I have planned.  It includes the 6x6 cutting guide and patterns I found HERE on the Viva la Verve Blog.

I used the Love Ya Silly My Acrylix from Close to My Heart, and the Xoxo size M stamp.

I will have some added fun embellishments to add as well as alternate sentiments for those who need other types of cards!  :)  Cost of this workshop is $10 for four cards with envelopes, and we will be meeting at 7pm on Saturday, February 7th in my Craft Cave.  Who wants in on this one?
